Default Winter flowering plants

Just a suggestion to those who haven't got them - you might like to plant a
Sarcococca or a Lonicera purpusii for winter scent in your garden. The
Sarcococca isn't a large shrub but its tiny white flowers create the most
wonderful perfume in the winter garden. A couple of sprigs in the house
perfume it wonderfully. I'm mentioning it now because I've lost count of
the times people smell ours and say "oh blast, I meant to plant one of those
last year....." ;-))
